"I can assist my husband
again"

Sola Bosede Akindele

"I came with my husband from North from where he was transferred to Ilorin. When we got to Ilorin, I had no job "

My husband challenged me one day when he jokingly asked me to send money to one of our children in the boarding school. That was the motivating factor.

I got a shop in the market and started selling pure water. It was after that I beccame a beneficiary of the MTN Foundation Rural Telephone Project. The telephone call business I operate became so profitable that I began to save money monthly. It was this money that I gathered to buy a deep freezer and started a frozen fish business.

In a month, I make enough money. When I add this to that what I make from my fish business. I can say I'm comfortable. Now I can comfortably buy beverages for my children in the boarding school and make them happy. I can also afford to buy four to five cups of rice at home when the need arises.
